Italian Navy Officer Sabre

Product overview

The Official Marina Militare Officer's Saber is the ceremonial sabre issued for officers of the Marina Militare and intended for use with dress and full uniform during armed service and formal occasions. It is designed for military personnel and licensed civilians who meet the legal requirements for ownership.

Definition: a ceremonial officer's sabre used as part of the uniform and for formal representation. This item suits collectors of military surplus and duty gear, and complements police or tactical dress where permitted.

Main features

Built to match uniform regulations, the saber combines traditional appearance with practical fit and authorized use.

• High-quality materials: Guard, spine of the grip, fittings and scabbard tip are made of gilt metal for strength and a formal look.
• Ergonomic carry: Worn on the left side and secured to the belt fittings for stable, comfortable carry.
• Size fitted to the user: Length must be proportional to the wearer’s height, measured perpendicularly from navel to the ground to ensure easy draw.
• Restricted supply: Reserved for members of the Marina Militare and for civilians holding the required prefectural license (art. 28 TULPS).
• Accessory: The saber is to be paired with the dragona to complete the uniform setup.
• Payment note: This product is not available for purchase via PayPal.

How to use / When it’s useful

Use the saber during ceremonial duties, official parades, and when wearing the Grande Uniforme. Proper length and correct attachment to the belt ensure the saber draws smoothly and sits correctly at the side.

Quick answer: Wear it on the left hip secured to the belt fittings, and ensure the blade length matches the perpendicular measurement from your navel to the ground. In most cases, incorrect length makes drawing the saber difficult, so measure before ordering.

Care and notes

Basic care keeps the piece presentable and functional for ceremonial use and long-term storage.

• Keep the blade dry and clean after use; store in its scabbard to protect the metal finish.
• Avoid exceeding the recommended length — longer blades can hinder or prevent smooth extraction.
• Shipping requires prior verification: a copy of your military ID or the service barracks address for delivery.
• Civilian purchasers must present the prefectural license required by art. 28 TULPS; sale is restricted accordingly.
